But it had not been in Tess's power - nor is it in anybody's power - to feel the whole truth of golden opinions while it is possible to profit by them. She - and how many more - might have ironically said to God with Saint Augustine, "Thou hast counselled a better course than thou hast permitted."

Only pray for me, that God would give me both inward and outward strength, that I may not only speak, but truly will; and that I may not merely be called a Christian, but really be found to be one. St.Ignatius of Antioch.Epistle to the Romans.

Why so defensive? I wasn't picking on you. Just glad you liked the purple kitchen.

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.A hasty quarrel kindles fire,and urgent strife sheds blood.If you blow on a spark, it will glow;if you spit on it, it will be put out; and both come out of your mouth

ETA: Sorry, I read the help menu for 10 minutes and still can't figure out how to get an image directly in a post without it being an attachment.

LOL!

If the image is somewhere on the Web, just right click and select "copy image URL". Then in your post click the little blue photo icon (second icon from the left, second row (under the italic icon)), and right click - paste. Then Post. Nothing to it.

So, it rained all day yesterday....and then on my drive home from work....the clouds started to break up.

To me it looked like God had pulled out his paintbrushes and created a masterpiece.

I kept looking out the side window so much in awe, that I feared I'd drive off the road. I finally pulled over and took a few photos. It all vanished quickly, as the wind was strong, and the sun was setting fast....but, how pretty it was while it lasted!

^ that's a good one. And when there was the previous conclave (in 2005), I even didn't have the Internet at home...

Our Serbian bishops probably like celebrating Divine Liturgy under some sunshades with an advertisment of a beer (Lav, after Jelen, is the most famous Serbian beer), becasue, as you probably remember, I've found a picture with a Serbian bishop celebrating Liturgy under Carlsberg parasol. Here you have metropolitan of Montenegro Amfilohije:
